LiDAR Forest Resource Assessment
Our Data Products
Structural Layers
We process the raw LiDAR point cloud into foundational structural models including:
- Digital Elevation Models (DEM)
- Digital Surface Models (DSM)
- Canopy Height Models (CHM)
Individual Tree Detection & Metrics
AI-powered algorithms identify and measure individual trees across the entire forest:
- Individual tree location layer
- Each tree contains attributes of tree height and crown diameter
- DBH modeled through calibration of field plots
- Individual tree volume estimates
Stand-Level Forest Inventory
Stand-level metrics aggregated from individual tree data:
Key Parameters: • Stocking • Basal area • Site index • Mean Top Height • Total Standing Volume (TSV) • Total Recoverable Volume (TRV) • Growth projections
This bottom-up approach captures spatial variability that traditional plot-based inventories might miss, delivering more accurate yield estimates and reducing sampling error.
Terrain Products and Infrastructure Layers
Contour, hillshade, slope, and drainage maps are derived from DEMs to support operational planning. We also provide updates on road alignment and grade, as well as streams within forests.
Themed Attributes Mapping
We produce attribute maps showing the spatial distribution of stocking, tree height, DBH and other forest attributes. These maps benefit silvicultural and harvest planning.
LiDAR Quality Assurance
Our comprehensive quality control workflow for LiDAR data validates data integrity and generates QC reports for each dataset. The workflow serves as a critical checkpoint that guarantees the reliability and accuracy of our LiDAR projects.
Data Delivery and Visualisation
At Peryitech, we deliver more than raw data results. Alongside GIS files and data tables, you’ll receive customised Power BI–style dashboard and interactive map. This interactive interface lets you unlock the full protential of your LiDAR project:
- Seamlessly integrate results into your existing workflow
- Visualise key findings at a glance
- Share clear, compelling insights with stakeholders
Why Choose Peryitech?
Multi-Source Data Approach
We work with clients to develop the optimal data acquisition plan that meets their specifications and budgets – from publicly available satellite imagery, LiDAR and existing inventory data to high-resolution drone and LiDAR surveys – to balance detail, speed, and cost-effectiveness.
AI-Driven Analytics
Our analytics pipeline employs state-of-the-art AI and computer vision techniques to extract multiple metrics from remote sensing data. We can efficiently measure attributes such as stocking, diameter at breast height (DBH), tree heights, basal area and species composition at scale. We deliver insights that are more consistent and comprehensive that goes beyond what conventional plot-based inventory can provide.
Practical, Solution-Focused Approach
Our team has hands-on experience in forest operations, resource planning, and investment analysis. We blend technical expertise with deep industry knowledge to deliver efficient solutions to real-world challenges.
Project Delivery to Optimise User Experience
We understand that user experience is crucial to project success. We provide deliverables in multiple formats—GIS layers, technical reports, interactive maps, and dashboards with customised templates. These options let clients integrate our outputs directly into their workflows. Clear data visualisations also make it simple to communicate insights to stakeholders.
